I've been tempted….

I’ve been working at MK Metro for the MKMetro-26-MattCooperpast four days. Mainly to learn a few routes that we are going to be running with their vehicles but from our garage, But I’ve also found myself doing a few duties for them.

One thing I’ve found out this week is that my long term memory is pretty good as I’ve done all these route just from remembering when I was there three years previous…..

….and I have to say I’ve enjoyed it!!

Now I’m contemplating transferring over to them.. Not sure yet, It’s nothing but an idea yet. I’ve got this duty to do for a few months which will have me having my breaks at MK Bus Station so will have to see if the people are any friendler than they were in 2005.

Theres two things I’ve liked the most about working there, Being home within 5 minutes of finishing work and driving nice, comfortable, newish buses compared to our skips on wheels at Aylesbury.


Do you remember the first time?

This post is quite special… No I’m not shutting the blog down so you don’t have to read my dribble anymore or the fact that I’m giving away free money to the first 10 people to ring me up and say “Guitar Caravan” (which I’m not)… But the fact that this is the 100th post to this blog.

There has been more than 100 blog posts of course as this is the third blog I’ve had.

To celebrate this fantasical moment in history I’m going to post post some bits from previous moments in time….

(my comments about the posts are in bold)

“Well, I had my interview at Metro, and was offered the job there n then. With the terms and conditions they were offering I would have been stupid not to accept.”

I lasted 9 weeks at metro! I have ended up back at ARRIVA via a 2nd spell at Parcelforce LOL and now, Just to complete the Circle I’m being borrowed by MK Metro as they are short of staff at this very moment.

There is a Meeting for all the people I owe money to to vote if they accept my IVA and I can work at getting out of Debt, Thats what’s going round my mind at the moment…. All I can do is keep my fingers crossed.

Oh and some nice person has given me a cold over the weekend so I feel like Poo and its not doing my Psoriasis any good either :/

(I’ll stop moaning now)

Oh and I had this Text’d to me this morning.. I know some strange People!

“Instead I have found something called a Terrimundi, A Terrimundi is a little urn-shaped piece of pottery with a small slit in it to fit coins.


MK Metro has Vanished!

Well the title isn’t quite true. It seems that the MK Metro website has been taken down. The site hasn’t been updated in months so it’s probably a blessing that it has been removed as all the timetables were out of date.

Because of this it has become quite difficult to find Bus Timetables for Milton Keynes online so I’ve decided to add a page with them all on 🙂

Just click the “MK METRO – TIMETABLES” image to the left for a list of services.


Weather Blogging

Well the Weather People got it wrong (again!). After constantly repeating the fact that the snow would not reach MK I woke up to find this…

Don’t you just love snow when noones touched it 🙂 This picture was taken 4:30 this morning just before I left for work, It makes the street look quite pretty.


Schools

Time for a rant…

I am sick and Tired of people parking whereever they feel like it when they pick up their little darlings, Most of them seem to have no understanding of what the yellow lines mean and cause the whole road to come to a standstill.

I’ve written to the My local councillor who also happens to be the Mayor of MK. He has replied and said that there is to be some remodelling of the street but I still don’t think it’s going to work.

On a plus side he has seen my new website (www.guide2mk.co.uk) and is going to email me directly with any news that he feels is relevant, which is quite handy 🙂

 

Anyway, End of rant <g>
